As you can tell this past week has been about rainbows. The art table has allowed us to try different techniques to create colourful expressions.
Our last rainbow art project was to drip paint on to paper and then roll over it with rolling pins. The morning started with the children using little syringes to drip the paint on to the paper. But that soon changed to spoons as the syringes caused more of a splatter (especially on the walls) then a drip.
Look how she’s checking out what happened to the paint.
Is she wondering where to roll next?

This art was almost as popular as painting rainbows with trains and buses.
Look at the full body movement he’s enjoying.
And how he is standing up to try to roll the paint in another direction. I wish I had more pictures of this activity. The children proudly shared their pieces with me as they said goodbye at the end of their morning and many of the parents commented how much their child enjoyed the activity.
